5 summary

In 2008 all paddle boats were taken out from the Lincoln Park Zoo's water because of a $12 million restoration project. The pool has been open since June. Zoo spokeswomen said that there would not be boats on the pond this year and the following couple of years because the plants need to grow by the pond. Maybe the paddle boats wont be put back that has not been

decided yet by Zoo's management. Instead of paddle boats, The Zoo's management also thinks

about putting pontoon boats with a speaking guide to talk about the zoo .

6. my opinion

All paddle boats were removed from the Lincoln park Zoo in 2008. The Zoo management

wants to get more wild life and wild plants by the pond. In order for this to happen, the

zoo management wont allow paddle boats until the plants grow in couple years.
